Sorry, didn't mean to corrupt your thread. I spent 8 years in Columbia, SC and there's very little propper trout fishing down there (at least to my PA way of thinking). So, I spent the time fishing warmwater and saltwater species. My folks are in Naples, FL so I spend time there fishing salt. Also, my grandfather and dad were hardcore night bass fishermen.

What I'm saying is fly rods are a great tool for caching EVERYTHING, not just trout.

JayL,

You're right: one fly, no hedging. I'd have to lean towards the bugger in all its incarnations including come head and with dumbell eyes. We all know the many permutations for fresh water. Tie the body out of Ice Chenille and you're rockin' a great little minnow or shrimp imitation. LOTS of versitility!

No Deer.... By the way i hate game lands. There was a buck i had pegged for three years, trail cam photos and all. i let him walk twice with the bow this year. he wood have been a good one next year.................but someone shot him with the rifle. For the first time in club history no one got a deer. My father told us he's gotta go next year and show us how to do it.....LoL............i haven't had a doe lisense in 5 years maybe i'll get one, so the street doesn't starve next year.

To this day, I still cannot go fishing without flipping over at least one rock..........or two...........or till I find a buggy.

Hellgramites are the bomb , but how do you immitate that dive? When i used them for bait they had a distict wiggle/dive that is when the blast would come. I have a bunch of latex material left over from old prosthesis i'm gonna experiment on that.
